Typical Duties of Site Administrators
Site administrators are responsible for the configuration and management of the Windchill system as a whole. They create organizations representing business units of a hosting company and organizations representing partners and suppliers. Site administrators control how authorized users are added to the system. They also define the information that is common across all organizations and their products, libraries, projects, and programs.
Typical duties of the site administrator include the following:
• Create and update organizations participating in the site.
• Determine if new organizations are subscribers (able to host product, library, project, or program contexts).
• Manage a group of users with site administration privileges.
• Manage site-level folders, documents, and links.
• Manage site-level types and type-specific attributes that are inherited by all contexts.
• Manage the rules governing object creation.
• Manage site-level templates that are inherited by child contexts.
• Manage site-level object initialization rules that are inherited by child contexts.
• Create and manage security auditing reports for audit records of who did what causing changes in the Windchill database.
• Manage site configuration (such as vaulting, replication, calendar, property options, and preferences).
• Create profiles to define which parts of the user interface (e.g., actions, tabs, and attributes) should be visible to users, groups, or organization members. Site administrators determine whether application context managers can override profiles that are created at the site context.
• Manage processes (such as workflow, life cycles, CAD viewable publishing, and replication).
• Manage package configuration
• Manage security access for workflow expressions.
• Export and import site-level information.
• Define and manage reports.
• Determine searchable object types.
• Manage saved searches.
• Manage site-level access policies and rules.
